Wells Fargo Championship 2021: Rory McIlroy Earns 1st PGA Tour Win Since 2019

Rory McIlrory held off Abraham Ancer to win the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina on Sunday.

McIlroy went three under in the final round to finish at 10 under for the tournament, one shot better than Ancer. Viktor Hovland and Keith Mitchell tied for third at eight under.

This is his first victory on the PGA Tour since the WGC-HSBC Champions in November 2019.

The 32-year-old narrowly avoided a meltdown after badly hooking his tee shot on the par-four No. 18. He missed the creek, but the rough surrounding the water was so thick that it made an approach all but impossible.
